Begging for My Mother: Find A Grave and the Strangers Who Collect Our Dead
This morning I signed into Find A Grave to update my mother's memorial and discovered that I no longer manage her page. No email warned me. Nothing in my account records the change. Six family memorials, five of them sponsored with my own money in the weeks after my mother died, and my name has been stripped from every one.

So, my cousin had a baby, how do you call this kind of #kinship?

#Esperanto: second ranked niece (duaranga nevino)

#30DayChartChallenge Día 14: Kinship! 🌿 Hoy toca visualizar "parentescos" animales, pero basados en ¡similitud de rasgos! #RelationshipsWeek #Animals
Este dendrograma horizontal es el resultado de un clustering jerárquico (hclust Ward.D2) sobre ~170 especies, usando su Masa Corporal y Longevidad Máxima (log-transformadas y escaladas). ¡Muestra quién se agrupa con quién según su estrategia de vida!
Las ramas unen las especies más similares. La longitud horizontal hasta la unión indica cuán diferentes son. Se ven grandes grupos que separan, por ejemplo, animales muy grandes/longevos de otros más pequeños/rápidos. Es una forma de ver la estructura oculta en los datos de rasgos.
(Solo se muestra 1/3 de las etiquetas para no saturar!)
